Kanye West presented his Yeezy Season 4 collection at New York Fashion Week on Wednesday, shuttling editors and guests out to Roosevelt Island to take in his monochrome latest. The regular set of famous faces made appearances in the front row—hi, Kim!—and some even turned up on the runway. As for the clothing, it was in line with West’s past seasons, mostly in shades of nude and neutrals and still very body conscious. While you wait for Nicole Phelps’s review, read Dirk Standen’s interview with Kanye here, and get the abridged version of events at Yeezy Season 4 below.

4. Upon entering the park, guests were greeted by a merchandise shop selling Season 4 long sleeve tees in white and neon yellow with show information printed on them. For past seasons, items like this have served as invites given to guests without charge—picking one up this time would set you back $75.

5. West collaborated with Vanessa Beecroft again for the staging this season. A selection of stationary models wearing skin-toned bra tops, leotards, and shorts were arranged in a formation within the center of the park, while others walked around an elevated white triangular runway.
